All Rise...

The Charge

Zoinkies!

The Case

You either love baseball bloopers or you don't. And if you don't, you're
probably a Communist.

Of all the professional sports, America's pastime is the most ripe for
bloopers (well, that and soccer, which continually amuses me as to the depths
grown men will sink to attempt to draw a penalty). Basketball? How many missed
dunks can you watch before boredom sets in? Football? Ha, look at that guy
somersault into the end zone! Hockey? Bloopers there lead to career-ending
concussions.

Nope, Baseball is where it's at and if you're hankering for some
old-fashioned diamond inanity, you'll find plenty of entertainment here. MLB
Bloopers: Doubleheader consists of two one-hour programs: "Baseball's
Best Blunders" and "The Funny Side of Baseball."

The first is the best. For the most bloopers per minute, "Baseball's
Best Blunders" delivers, cramming in a boatload of on-field foibles. Amidst
the random miscues is a countdown list of the so-called "top
blunders," and they're pretty good. You get classics like Tommy Lasorda
getting nailed with a broken bat, Ruben Rivera's moronic base-running, and a
classic runaway kitten encounter.

"The Funny Side of Baseball" isn't quite a homerun; more like a
fielder's choice. There are bloopers, but most of the funny comes from things
like dugout pranks or players acting like idiots. Chris Kattan narrates the
feature, if that influences your buying decision one way or the other.

Not much else to say. Despite the corny nature of the second program, MLB
Bloopers: Doubleheader is definitely worth checking out for fans of hardball
hijinks.
